Evaluation-Question 3

How did your production skills improve throughout this project?

Editing and Camera technique:

Preliminary task 

This was our opening shot for our preliminary task, this shot was a semi long shot, the focus on this shot is poor and this shows very basic camera skills.








This is a very basic shot, the pillar appears to be an obstacle within the video. the shot is out of focus and blurry, however this is a decent long shot and establishing shot. this was a pan tracking shot.keeps the audiences focus on the main character.

This shot is needs colour correction as it appears to be too over exposed.the audience isn't sure on who to focus on as the two subjects of the shot are out of frame 

This shot shows a well executed over the shoulder shot,due to it being an over the shoulder shot it then makes it impossible to show a reaction shot.other limitation of this angle is  only one subject is in frame of the shot.

Final Product

In the first few seconds of the film, we have brought up our production company which we have made ourselves, we made the logo and the name on photoshop,typically this is a good shot because it shows all focus on the subject of which it intends to.

This shot shows the growth we have made throughout the production because in our preliminary task we had out of focus shots and the subjects were out of frame whereas in this shot there is a perfect centre on all 3 subjects.

This shot shows a good use of an over the shoulder shot. the lighting and contrast of this shot is perfect and this intrigues the audience to know whats in the bag.

This shot shows a perfect establishing shot which we have managed to significantly improve on compared to our preliminary task, the subject is in frame and the lighting is good.

This shot shows all subjects in frame and the positioning and angle of each subject helps intrigue the audience more, we have improved with the use of multiple subjects in one shot and being in frame.

This is one of the final shots of the scene, this is a very good use of long shot, we can see the second subject in the distance and this technique has been improved massively throughout this project.

Time Management 

When it came to the production, we had a minor issue with time management due to filming time fitting everyone involved, however we resolved this issue by making our production schedule more flexible for example on some days we didn't need all actors present or we'd only film a couple of hours one day and the next day we'd film till sundown to make up for the time missed.

Editing

personally i have found my editing skills to have improved massively, for example my first time using final cut pro was during this start of this project and throughout question 1& 4 of this evaluation i have used skills such as voiceovers, muting the background sound, editing two finished piece together and cuts between scenes which i have learnt only throughout this project.
